Standard video export

Standard export of video takes place as follows:

1. An export range (timeframe) is set.
   Set the export interval on the primary or secondary timeline. You can do it later by entering the date and time (see item 3c below):
   
   1. on the main timeline, move the bar to the beginning of the range that you want to export. Click the  button. Move the bar to the end of the range that you want to export. Click the  button. You can also select the export interval by using the right mouse button. To clear the interval, click the  button;
      
   2. you can specify the range on the additional navigation panel in the same way, by clicking the  buttons. You cannot use the mouse to set the export range on the additional navigation panel.
2. Setting export area and masks (see the Configuring export area and masks).
3. Setting an export format, specifying where to save exported files, and adding comments.
   1. On the timeline or in a viewing tile, click the  button.
      The export window opens.
      
      
   2. If necessary, change the export path (1). By default, the file is exported to the folder specified in the settings (see the Configuring export section). If you change this folder, the new path to exported files will be kept in memory until the Client restarts.

   3. You can set the start and end time of the exported  episode in the calendar (2).

      
      

   4. If necessary, specify a different file format for exporting the video (3). Videos can be exported into the following 4 formats:  MP4, MKV, EXE and AVI.

      Note.

      Video is exported in MKV format without recompression.

      Video is exported in AVI format with recompression in the selected codec (see point 4). Export to AVI files may take longer time because of recompression. 

      In addition, AVI export increases CPU load, especially when you export several files at once (see Simultaneous export of video from multiple cameras, Exporting all event videos).

      When video is exported in EXE format, a self-contained executable file is generated, containing video, playback tools, and necessary codecs.

      When exporting to EXE format, please note that Windows does not allow launching executable files of more than 4 Gb.

   5. If you want to export to an encrypted zip archive, set a password (4). If you are exporting an .exe file, you will need to enter a password when you open the file. 

      Attention!

      This setting may be overridden by the user role settings (see Creating and configuring roles).

   6. If necessary, add comments for the export. The comments will be shown as captions when the exported video is played (5).
   7. If you export a video to MKW or AVI format, and you need to copy the Axxon Player utility (see The Axxon Player User Guide) to the same folder, check the corresponding box (6). 

   8. To export unmasked videos from the Video Footage, the user must have appropriate access rights. To perform such an export, check the View Masked Video box (7).

   9. Enter the credentials of the supervisor who confirms the launch of export (8).

      Note

      The supervisor enters their password only if it is required by user rights settings. If no export confirmation is required, these fields will not be displayed.

   10. Click the Export button (9).

The export process begins. Progress is shown on the export panel (see the Viewing export progress section).
